Características

Jeffry Hendrix, the son of a Midwestern,evangelical pastor, served a twenty-year stint as an ordained Protestant pastor. After converting to the Catholic Church, he has taught middle school at Saint Charles Borromeo School as homeroom teacher and catechist for nearly a decade. A runner and weight-trainer, he began experiencing troubling symptoms and was told by his urologist that he had kidney cancer. Following the removal of a kidney and ureter, and just prior to starting chemotherapy for recurrence of lesions, he felt compelled to write A Little Guide for Your Last Days. It was as much for me as for anyone else who is facing membership in the Pre-Death Club, Hendrix says. It has the feel of an AA group for the predeath, sin-recovery sort: hard-living folks, suddenly seen the light, give me the quick and dirty (if you can, pretty boy). My retort is to say, Im right there with you, I wont waste your time. Ill give it to you as things are shutting down, and I wont leave. Promise. A Little Guide for Your Last Days is a ray of faith and hope and charity for the time when the doctor has shrugged his/her shoulders. All that can be done has been done. But you arent alone. Not by a long shot. This book will help you see that you that, and be glad. As a cancer survivor, I wish Id had Jeff Hendrixs Little Guide to help me through the fear and uncertainty following my initial diagnosis. Like a modern- day Virgil to the readers Dante, he guides those facing illness so they may keep their eyes and feet turned towards Paradise. - Dawn Eden, author, The Thrill of the ChasteJeff Hendrix is a wise guy--and a wise guide--whose Little Guide for Your Last Days helps us navigate the answers to the Really Big Questions. Whether your death is imminent or you are living life on the deferred payment plan, sooner or later that Bill of Bills will come due. Hendrix helps you to be ready for that inevitability now. - Mark P. Shea, author, Mary, Mother of the Son Je
